Charcuterie Skewers with Salami Roses
These individual charcuterie skewers with salami roses are the perfect appetizer for your next party. Skewers are stacked with cheeses, accompaniments, and the cutest mini salami rose that will wow the guests at your celebration!
Equipment
- Bamboo Skewers - 6 inch
Ingredients
- 24 cubes cheese see notes below for ideas
- 12 slices hard or Genoa salami 2 1/2 inches in diameter
- 12 olives black or green
- 12 baby dill pickles pieces similar in size to other ingredients
- 12 grapes red or green
Instructions
- On 12 - 6 inch skewers, thread 1 cheese cube and an olive. Set aside to make salami roses.
- Fold a piece of salami in half and then roll into a rose. Thread onto skewer next to the olive.
- Next thread a pickle piece, second cheese and a grape onto the skewer.
- Repeat to make 12 total skewers. Place on a serving platter or tray to serve.
Notes
You want a cheese that isn't too soft where it will fall apart, or too hard where it will crumble when you try to thread it on the skewer.
Some good options include: gouda, cheddar, Swiss, Colby, havarti, Monterrey jack, pepper jack, gruyere or manchego. I also love using ciliegine, which are the bite-size mozzarella pearls.
In these photos, I used a mild cheddar and mozzarella pearls.
